All the measurements and ingredients are already North America-adjusted:) For measurement; I use a glass or plastic cup with a handle which you can find at the markets:)
1 cup = 250 ml
3/4 cup = 175 ml
2/3 cup = 150 ml
1/2 cup = 125 ml
1/3 cup = 75 ml
1/4 cup = 50 ml
1/4 tsp = 1 ml
1/2 tsp = 2 ml
1 tsp = 5 ml
1 tbsp = 15 ml
3 tsp = 1 tbsp
4 tbsp = 1/4 cup
5 tbsp + 1 tsp = 1/3 cup
8 tbsp = 1/2 cup
12 tbsp = 3/4 cup
16 tbsp = 1 cup
1 tablespoonfull = As much as the spoon can hold
Oven Temperatures:
325° F = 165° C Moderately Slow/Warm
350° F = 180° C Moderate/Medium
375° F = 190° C Moderate/Moderately Hot
400° F = 205° C Moderately Hot
425° F = 220° C Hot
450° F = 230° C Hot/Very Hot
475° F = 250° C Very Hot
500° F = 260° C Extremely Hot
Binnur, In a lot of American cookbooks there are different abbreviations for tablespoon and teaspoon. Tablespoon can be "tbls" or "T". Teaspoon can be "tsp" or "t". And I was always taught that when measuring dry ingredients that they should be level full. That is why measuring cups and spoons came in different sizes. Unless there was a particular recipe that said "heaping tablespoon full". I love the site! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMerhaba,
ReplyDeletewould it also be possible to add some frequently used temperatures in Fahrenheit and their conversion in Celcius?

1 cup flour = ~180 gr.
Merhaba,
ReplyDeleteBınnur - I need some help translating Turkish recıpes. When I try to read them, I often find measurements given for a çayı or suyu bardak. How much would a tea glass or water glass be in ounces or milliliters?
Çok teşekkür ederim. I enjoy your web site so much.

Hi Binnur,
ReplyDeleteYesterday while talking about recipies with a friend of mine in Turkey, she directed me to your nice site... I found the same problem with conversions as some of your other readers... Rather than trying to list a few conversions on your measurements page, you might consider a direct link to this sight... http://www.onlineconversion.com/
Hi Binnur,
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you could help me. In one of your recipie you said 250ml of butter I was wondering if you explain if it is melted, if not how do you measure ml? it is in the UN KURABİYESİ recipie.
best regards
Feride
Hi Feride,
ReplyDeleteButter should be in room temeperature in Un Kurabiyesi. All the packeges of butter measurment also given in ml. I am sure the butter you will use give all the measurments, such as, gr, ml, cup
250 ml = 250 gr = 1 cup
If you like you can use measurment cup for it:)
Take care,
Merhaba Binnur,
ReplyDeleteI love this site! Thank you for creating it.
Can you please describe the consistency and proportions of fresh garlic and salt used for making garlic/salt paste.
Tesekkur edirim
Merhaba,
ReplyDeleteTesekkur ederim:) Although I have not measured it before, I believe 1/2 tsp salt for one medium size garlic makes the paste.

Hi Binnur....the recipe for Sam dessert calls for a 3L. size Pyrex. Is that a 9x13 Pyrex glass pan. I'm from the GTA and I'm not sure if that is what you mean and my Turkish husband doesn't either.
ReplyDeleteI made you revani and it was soooo delicious...cok gzel, even my husband's Turkish friends from Turkey asked for the recipe.
Thank you.....
Hi Erica,
ReplyDeleteYes, it is a 9x13 Pyrex glass pan.
I am glad you like the revani..it is one of my husband's favorite desserts:)
